    Parents Day after competition

    Is it normal for kids to be emotional the day after a competition? The competition was great but the next day DD was having a hard time with life and needed extra TLC. Wondered if this is common?

    Parents First meet blues?

    So we had the meet today and she enjoyed it plus she got 3 ribbons so that was a nice surprise! She walked all hunched over to do her floor routine but then performed it the best I have ever seen her do it and got her highest placing for it! Thank you everyone for your advice and support it...

    Parents How important is presentation in floor routine?

    DD had her competition today and her floor looked the best it ever has. She was a little ahead of the music and stood waiting for a second for the music in one spot and one of her cartwheels was not quite as pointy as usual but she scored well on it so that was a pleasant surprise!

    Women Bronze vault has turned into a roll

    My DD had a nice straight back flip when doing "vault" for the past 3 years. I say "vault" because it was the bronze vault where basically they jump on the springboard and then flip onto the mat but it was very good. Now this year she is folding in the middle or just straight out doing a roll. I...
